Thursday the nominees for the 70th Golden Globes were announced by Jessica Alba, Ed Helms and Megan Fox. Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln lead the way with seven nominations, and Ben Affleck’s Argo and Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained both earned five. Tarantino, Spielberg and Affleck all managed to snag Best Motion Picture, Drama noms for their films, as well as Best Director for themselves.

The winners will be announced on January 13th; the ceremony will be hosted by two of the funniest ladies in Hollywood; Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.

Voice of Reason

Oh wonderful. They nominated the same five movies for EVERYTHING. Seriously? Salmon Fishing in the Yemen? Nobody even saw that movie! And how the heck is ParaNorman not nominated for Best Animated Feature, but Hotel Transylvania is? Ya know, I used to have more respect for the Golden Globes, but sadly, it looks as though they have gone the way of the Oscars. And that is not a good thing.
